Try out http://www.blogger.com.

Create a test site first just to get a feeling for it and see how it works.

In parallel create a Yahoo group as I have for the Future Salon: http://groups.yahoo.com/
So people can sign up for your mailing list and you can send them information about your next performance very easily.

Both of them are free and fulfill your basic need: Place where people can find you and where you can keep your fans up to date.

Let me know when you are coming next to San Francisco and I can show you how to use them/set it up for you.

All the best, Mark.

Thanks for the review. As you mentioned, I need a better “web-presence”. I wonder if you have any simple, inexpensive ideas on this. all help in this regard is greatly appreciated. I am tech-challenged and willing to admit it.

It was good being with you Sat. night

All the best,
Steven
